Criminal Procedure • 14th Amendment
CRIMPRO#040
Legal Definition
Bail issues are immediately appealable, though preventive detention is constitutional.
Plain English Explanation
In most jurisdictions, if someone is either denied bail or has a bail set excessively high, they have a right to immediately appeal. Note, however, that it is completely constitutional in some circumstances to deny someone bail, such as them being a flight risk or if it is likely that they pose a harm to society if allowed back out into the world.
